The time has come to move on. I've developed a craving for something french, so "ANJ" is now up for sale. This is the 2nd AE82 i've owned, and can honestly say it really must be one of the best left (and there are now less than 200 in the country!!)
I bought her about year ago off a fellow Toyota Owner's Club member who also happens to work for Toyota! He bought the car as a wreck and did a virtual money no object job of bringing it back up to scratch. During the time he had it, it had:
Fully rebuilt late spec engine (7 ribbed strong block) new big end & main bearings, new rings, ported cylinder head and TRD competition h/gasket! JR air filter.
New genuine front wings/sunroof panel (and seal)
Resprayed front and rear bumpers, bonnet, boot-lid, side-skirts & all new w/arch trims all round
New radiator, water pump, thermostat, new complete clutch, new genuine wiper blades all round. (All genuine parts!)
Full 'C' service carried out by a Toyota dealership
Brand new discs and pads all round. Fully reconditioned rear callipers
4 Fully re-conditioned original wheels with 4 brand new Yokohama A539's, lowered 35mm on fensport springs
Since I've had it, it's had:
New clutch master cylinder
New petrol filler neck
New alternator (about 1 month ago)
New rear caliper
Full Stainless Steel Blueflame Exhaust
KYB Dampers
17" Arospeed RS GT Wheels on Toyos (available at extra cost)
Kenwood CD Player
Autoacoustics Rear Shelf (Original still intact)
Oil and filter change every 3k
New Track rod ends & laser alignment
Various other little details restored
...Probably more, but that's all I can think of
As for downsides, there is a small scuff on the n/s corner of the front bumper where someone caught it in a carpark
There is a hairline crack in the centre of the front bumper (my fault ) - easily repaired
There is a small bubble just above the o/s rear arch
Erm, that's it. Like I said, these are getting very rare now, so I'd like it to go to someone who will look after it - i'm not in any particular rush to sell. Here's some pics
Like i say, i want this to go to a good home! The mileage shows 116k, which looks to be right and it has 8 months MOT and tax till January
£1600
